surfing the greatest career wave 🌊

🔍 AI Idea of the Week
The best career wave in history?
“This is probably the best time - maybe ever - to be starting out your career… because you will get to surf the greatest technological wave, maybe ever. And that means you can change course many times, because you will have this unbelievable tailwind.”
Sam Altman
It’s a rare moment: instead of one dominant industry, AI is reshaping every industry… from medicine to media, finance to fashion. That means careers will no longer follow a straight line.
Here’s what that looks like right now:
Infinite pivots - With AI accelerating product cycles, you can launch, test, and restart faster than ever. A “failed” project isn’t a dead end… It's training for the next one.
Skills compound - Each pivot adds new skills, networks, and knowledge. You don’t have to bet on a single career track; you stack experiences that become unique leverage.
Opportunities overflow - New roles are popping up that didn’t exist a year ago: AI operations, prompt engineering, model evaluation, AI safety. And those roles will keep shifting.
Instead of asking “What’s the safe career?” The better question is: “What’s the next wave to ride?”
The environment is changing so fast that adaptability isn’t just an advantage…
AI tools let you spin up landing pages, marketing campaigns, prototypes, even full brands in days, not months.
That means you can try 10 things, double down on the one that works, and still be ahead of where a traditional startup would be after its first product cycle.
The winners won’t be the ones who guess right on day one, they’ll be the ones who adapt the fastest.
If you want to be one of them - read this email all the way to the end.
And I’ll show you how you could create a new career in AI - starting this weekend.

Google upgrades Gemini’s image editor
The Gemini app’s AI editing now supports multi-step edits, outfit swaps, consistent characters, and more.
Why it matters: Editing that used to need Photoshop-level skills is now point-and-click, putting pro tools into anyone’s hands.
Meta partners with Midjourney
Meta signed a deal to license Midjourney’s tech and fold it into its AI models across Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook.
Why it matters: The feeds of billions of users will soon be shaped by Midjourney’s signature look.
Google Translate adds AI-powered learning
Translate is evolving into a Duolingo competitor with “Practice” lessons, real-time conversation tools, and goal-based learning powered by Gemini.
Why it matters: Learning a new language could soon happen right inside the app you already use to translate menus, signs, and chats.
WhatsApp keeps adding AI features
From AI-assisted writing to private on-device summarization, WhatsApp is steadily weaving more AI into your conversations.
Why it matters: Messaging apps are turning into productivity hubs… and WhatsApp’s 2B+ users make this shift impossible to ignore.
Netflix publishes AI production guidelines
Netflix will allow generative AI in content creation, but with strict rules: clear disclosure, no misuse of likenesses, and transparency around what’s real vs. AI made.
Why it matters: As generative AI moves into Hollywood, clear rules help audiences know what’s real and what’s AI-made and set expectations for how creative work gets credited and trusted.
🛠 AI Tool We’re Testing: Fathom.video
Meetings are where ideas happen, but also where details get lost.
Fathom is an AI notetaker that records, transcribes, and highlights calls automatically.
Fathom captures key moments, generates instant summaries, and even syncs action items into tools like Slack, Notion, and HubSpot. You can clip and share exact moments from a call (like a customer’s objection or a breakthrough idea) without digging through an hour-long recording.
It’s free, fast, and good enough to replace both manual note-taking and most meeting recap tools.
For founders and creators, that means every call (customer interviews, investor chats, brainstorms) turns into searchable, shareable insights.
🌟 Prompt of the Week: Creating a custom GPT for email campaigns
Someone came to me recently with a great question:
“I want a custom GPT that can actually handle my email campaigns, not just generic copy, but something that matches my brand, converts, and saves me time. How do I set that up?”
Here’s the exact prompt I gave them:
# ROLE
You are an Email Campaign Strategist & Copywriter for small businesses and creators. Your job: quickly turn a short brief into high-converting email assets.
# NON-NEGOTIABLES
- Practical, data-driven, conversion-focused
- Write at a 6–8th grade readability unless told otherwise
- Always deliver:
(1) polished email
(2) 3 subject lines
(3) 2 preview texts
(4) 2 CTA options
(5) one alt version for A/B testing
(6) a 5-step send/checklist
# QUALITY BAR
- Outcome clarity: one primary CTA + single measurable goal
- Deliverability: no spammy terms, <75 char lines, include plain-text + footer placeholders
- Accessibility: short paragraphs, headings, descriptive links, alt text for images
# OUTPUT FORMAT
“Plain Text Version”
“Subject Line Options (3)”
“Preview Text Options (2)”
“CTA Options (2)”
“Alt Version for A/B”
“QA & Send Checklist (5 steps)”
# QUICK COMMANDS
/brief → ask only for essential missing fields
/shorter → cut 30% of words, keep meaning
/spicier → sharpen hook + add emotion trigger (no clickbait)
/softer → reduce urgency, keep clarity
/localize [EN→ES/etc.] → adapt to language + compliance
/drip x3 → turn into 3-email funnel
/subject x10 → generate 10 more tested patterns w/ rationales
/segments → suggest 5 list segments + angle per segment
/audit → critique draft vs. brief with pass/fail checklist
# MINI EXAMPLES
**Sales (course launch)** → benefit-led subject, problem → promise → proof → bonus → CTA
**Re-engagement (ecom)** → <150 words, 1 image + alt text, social proof alt version
If you also add a knowledge file with your brand guidelines and past email examples, this becomes like having your own in-house strategist: one that never forgets your voice, and always delivers campaigns ready to send.
